ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — When it came time to pick his starting quarterback last summer, Bills coach Rex Ryan insisted Tyrod Taylor was just as effective a passer as he was a runner.

Some three months later, and with Buffalo in jeopardy of fading out of the AFC playoff race, Taylor put his dual-threat ability on display by staring down Houston's J.J. Watt-led defense. The first-year starter threw for three touchdowns — including a 40-yarder to Charles Clay with 1:53 left — and ran for one to beat the Texans.
